A previous thread mentioned In-Q-Tel's portfolio. Sorry if already posted, but I found some of these company's products very interesting.

In-Q-Tel is a Virginia-registered corporation, legally independent of the CIA or any other government agency.

“IQT is the non-profit strategic investor that accelerates the development and delivery of cutting-edge technologies to U.S. government agencies that keep our nation safe. Our work bridges the gap between the challenging technology needs of the national security agencies, the rapidly changing innovations of the startup world, and the venture community that funds those startups”
